For An Enlightened Blog


I was thinking, why not TV series be a part of cinematical discussions?

They represent a much different format with much different concerns, true, but aren't they sophisticated enough to be taken into consideration as much as arguably the most prominent art form of the 21st century?

Why discriminate the small screen while it constantly proves to be a promising medium? (Well, not constantly maybe, but sometimes)

amen to that,
notwithstanding my conservative stance and inaptitude for small screen.

genuine criticism does not necessraily concentrate on "high art" works, as tuna erdem's predilection for blockbusters reveals.

I cannot agree more. Although I don't necessarily see TV as a "lesser art" that also needs attention.

I think ignoring the world of blockbusters stems from a personality problem for most people.
